Description
Fatherhood and LeBron’s role as a nurturer for his youngest daughter Zhuri serves as the model’s mainstay inspiration – brought to life through the orange sherbet upper’s pearlescent finish. The Nike LeBron 21 offering boasts a lustrous leather upper in the alluring shade of Melon Tint, channeling the essence of a precious pearl. To ensure comfort during those intense on-court moments, the shoes feature cleverly placed perforations that enhance breathability. Noteworthy details include the impeccably embroidered Swoosh logos on both sides, perfectly complementing LeBron’s signature gracing the tongues. Moreover, intricate swirling patterns grace the heel tabs, accompanied by a unique hand graphic proudly displaying LeBron’s four championship rings, elegantly stamped onto the insoles. Elevating the entire experience, these extraordinary kicks come packaged in a specially designed box, further enhancing the pearl-inspired theme.
What makes the Nike LeBron 21?
• Much like how the LeBron 20 was inspired by Bronny, the LeBron 21 draws inspiration from his role as a father to his youngest child, Zhuri.
• The protective nature LeBron exudes around his daughter is brought to life through an oyster shell-inspired silhouette.
• Protecting the pearl inside, the upper venting has been striated to mimic the veining of a shell.
• The latter’s lightweight mono-mesh construction is reinforced by 360-degree zonal cables at the midfoot.
• Perforated Swooshes provide further breathability alongside the sock liner’s porous mesh pockets.
• The sole unit is packed with the same responsive setup as the LeBron 20 underfoot, featuring a bottom-loaded Zoom Turbo unit in the forefoot and a larger, top-loaded, 13mm Zoom Air unit at the heel. All of which is set into a full-length Cushlon 2.0 foam carrier.
• Further oyster shell elements appear across the exposed construction of the foxing and along the quilted tongue.
• Stitched insoles denote James’ four NBA Championship rings while his 1984 birth year sits on the underside of the heel tab.
• A jeweled element sits at the middle of the heel bearing 21 in roman numerals.
